View 11 RepliesI know that I have on occasion gotten stupid and selected "Remove" after marking images as rejected, when I meant to select Delete From Disk. I believe this means I have image files on my hard drive that no longer appear in the Lightroom catalog, but I don't want them at all. I meant to move them to the trash bin, but, like I said, just hit the wrong button for some reason.
Is there any way I can search for images still in my folders on my hard drive (where I save them when imported in Lightroom) that no longer appear in my catalog? I'd like to clean up my hard drive before transfering images to a new computer.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIf I do an import from my memory card, choose my external hard drive as a second location for the import, and then go into my catalog and delete the bad photos, is there any quick way to also remove those files from the backup on the external hard drive? I've got a ton of wasted space on my external HD due to things that I've deleted and don't know of any simple way to get rid of them short of formatting the drive and doing another export, which takes a long time and isn't something I want to do all that often.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI will be managing a small portion of a client's overall image workflow by updating their web prescence on a regular basis with new work and retagging/uploading old work. I believe this requires the catalog and the image library to be housed on an external hard drive that can travel between the two of us. We are both working on PC's with LR 5.3.
The workflow would look something like this:
Client downloads new images onto external hard drive and imports into LR "ClientCatalog" is created Flags Picks and Creates a Collection from those Picks.Hard drive is handed off to me where I open "ClientCatalog".Make suggested edits to images add detailed tags and metadata upload to various social media sites and websites return hard drive to client
Is there potential problem with this workflow? My assumption is that if everything is housed on the external hard drive then there are no worries about the catalog containing all the latest updates. Are there any "safety protocols" you would add in to this workflow (besides mirroring everythign on another hard drive)?
While editing an image in LR4, I accidentally deleted it from develpment module. I have a problem with restoring it. But I see the same image file by opening Explorer or navigating the original folder of image source. I could not re-import the same deleted image in Library module. ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedPSE users have posted questions about removing deleted folders from the PSE catalog since version 5 or 6. Back in 2009, the recommendation was to delete only in PSE. However, I manage my folders, backups, and archives in Windows, because I prefer the interface and use other tools. This causes me to have many grayed-out folders in the PSE catalog. As each new version comes out, I hope this will get fixed, with no luck so far. Are there any new features in version 11 that make this possible? Is there any hope that a future versions will allow the user to clean up the catalog, or synchronize automatically to the real folder structure?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI purchased a new computer today and also purchased PSE 12 (I had PSE 10 running on a different machine/laptop). On the laptop/PSE 10, I had about 20,000 digital on an external drive (all were tagged according to color, theme, etc via the PSE organizer). All of the elements were stored on the external drive under a folder called "digital kits". I used the PSE 10 backup utility to backup my catalog to ease the move to my new machine. After I performed the backup, I renamed the "digital kits" folder to "digital kits-glw" because I intended to just move the external hard drive to the new computer and restore the catalog to the same path, “E:digital kits”, as I have other software that is dependent upon that path.
The restore went pretty quickly, and I can see the correct folder structure within PSE 12 Organizer, but all I have is a bunch of blank thumbnails. Upon closer inspection, the restore did NOT recreate the E:digital kits folder on the hard drive as I expected. Worse, the E:digital kits-glw folder is virtually empty (just a handful of thumb.db files). So, it appears the backup process deleted/hijacked all of my files. (Note: I did NOT verify the contents of the digital kits folder before I renamed it.) Tech support is closed until Monday, and I’m just sick over the possibility of losing all that data, so I’m turning to you all.(I have a backup of the data, but without the catalog piece I would have to re-catalog all 20,000 elements!)
I recently installed LR4 on a maching that is running LR2.7. I would like to be able to view the LR2 catalog or images in LR4, but not necessarily convert all the photos to LR4. I have been told that I should not do a wholesale conversion of the images to LR4. I am not sure how to view the LR2 images in LR4 without converting the catalog. Is there a way to accomplish this without a wholesale conversion?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have recently moved my entire Lightroom catalogue along with the images to a new PC. I ensured all the paths were identical, and everything seemed to have gone smoothly except that now, when I import, Lightroom cannot correctly identify which images are already in the catalogue and will try to import duplicates.
For example, with the root image folder selected in the import dialogue, Lightroom will find the following: With "All Photos" selected, Lightroom identifies 13165 photos to import (this is what I would expect - my entire library plus a few new images).With "New Photos" selected, Lightroom finds 11537 photos - only slightly fewer than the entire library.With both "New Photos" and "Don't Import Suspected Duplicates" selected, Lightroom will find 5190 photos - just under half the entire library.The actual number of new photos is around 100.
As a test, I went ahead and imported one of the duplicated photos. The result was two identical images side by side in the library, both pointing at the same file (clicking "Show in Explorer" on each confirms this). The newly imported image has no develop history, although it still retains the develop settings from the xmp file.
I'm running Lightroom 3.5 on Windows 7 Home Premium. The catalog was originally created on a PC running Windows 7 Professional. I have successfully transferred the catalog previously with no issues and I'm not aware of having done anything differently this time.
Is there any (easy) way to re-number in sequential order my 6000 images *without* changing the names of the individual files?
My setup:
LR v5.3
6000 images in a master Nikon file
About 40 sub-folders inside of that Master Nikon Folder..Just one catalog for all that's described above.My preferred view in the Library is Capture Order.
I have been using Lightroom since version 1, it is my main editing software. LR4 is brilliant, however I it seems to run much slower then LR3 especially in the print module. I'm thinking this maybe due to the size of my catalog. How many images can a catelog hold?

The images are on my computer but not showing up in a folder in the LR4 catalog...how do I get them into the catalog? When I try to find them, they are all greyed out and I can't move them - a message says that it seems that duplicates are already on the computer (or something like that).
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I am viewing my images in the catalog, I don't know why it takes so long for my edited pics to render. It takes about 5 seconds. Is this normal?
I have tried increasing my cache size, auto xmp is off, I have build standard previews, I have upgraded to a faster hard drive, I frequently optimize my catalog.
Ideally, I want to be able to flip through all my catalog images fast without waiting for the developed pics to show.
The only thing I can thing is maybe storing my cache and catalog folders on my external hard drive is slowing it down?
If I create a brand spanking new catalog of lets say images from 2011, can i somehow import the collections created in another catalog for these same images into this new catalog?

How to store changed images in the catalog
View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently managed to crash my PC by upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7. I continually get a BSOD with exceptionally vague insight into what is causing the problem. Anyhow, I've decided that the best thing to do at this point is to simply wipe my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 7 (which has a much higher probability of working).
I have my entire Lightroom Catalog and all of my photography backed up to an external drive, so my data is safe. My plan is basically to wipe my PC's main hard disk, do a fresh install of Windows 7, install Lightroom 3.6, then copy all of my Lightroom files (catalog and RAW files) from my external backup drive to my PC's main hard disk.
My question is: Should my Lightroom catalog open without a problem after restoring it in this manner? Should expect any major problems during this process?.
I want to move my Lightroom catalog from my old PC to my new iMac.
The catalog contains only images located on a NAS.

How do i import images (a collection) from one catalog to another catalog in LR4?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a behaviour in LR4 that I dont know how to solve.
In the Catalog im supposed to have 11432 images, but when looking in the selection of keywords I only find 10567 when I have seletec all of them.
In the catalog I cant find any images without a keyword so I'm wondering from where this miss match is comming.
I accidentally removed a folder with images from my lightroom catalog. The lightroom .lrcat file seems to be intact (112.400kb) and the images are still on my hard drive.
Is there anyway that i can reimport the folder and that lightroom applies the changes that i earlier made on them? I assume all that information is stored in the catalog file? But when i try to reimport them, no changes are being made.
Back in LR1 and LR2, when I tried to import images that were already present in the catalog, I had an option to show me / select the already imported images. This is gone in LR4. How can I find in the library the already imported images without fecthing them one by one ?
View 13 Replies View RelatedSomething went wront on an ingest of my images. I think I tried correcting it by going into my /workingfiles folder were they were stored and deleting them manually. I'm sure I checked to see if I could do it through Lightroom, but maybe I missed the folder they were put in. I am guessing that is what happened so Lightroom still has a small image of them somewhere and will no longer let me re-import them.
